The Royal ScotsDragoon Guards Museum

Welcome to the website of the Regimental Museum of The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards (Carabiniers and Greys)

Visitor Information

The Regimental Museum interprets and displays over 300 years’ history of the only Scottish cavalry regiment in the British regular Army.

The museum exhibits a wide range of objects including weapons, uniforms, medals and paintings. These have been assembled to portray the story of the antecedent regiments that formed or were associated with The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards:

The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards (SCOTSDG) is a working regiment whose soldiers operate in a role that is much the same as that of their predecessors. Proud of their regiment’s history, the men and women of SCOTSDG serve their country sure in the knowledge that they are, as the regimental motto states, ‘Second to None’.
